Synopsis

The XXth meeting of the IAU in Australia in 1973 made the venue for the IAU Symposium No. 59 on Stellar Instability and Evolution, at Mount Stromlo Obser­ vatory on August 16-18, a very appropriate one. Many of the current and former staff of Mount Stromlo Observatory (operated by the Australian National Univer­ sity) have specialized in the study of variable stars and it was with considerable pleasure that Mount Stromlo Observatory accepted the responsibility of hosting and making the local arrangements for IAU Symposium No. 59. The Scientific Organizing Committee was particularly active in formulating the program and comprised Drs N. Baker, P. Demarque, M. Feast, G. Herbig, I. Iben, P. Ledoux, J. Ostriker and E. Schatzman. The aim of the Committee was to integrate the review and contributed papers on the particular instability mechanisms involved, their observational manifestations and their relation to the internal structure of the star as inferred from its evolutionary history. The Local Organizing Committee consisted of Miss P. Petrie and A. W. Rodgers.
